Have I ever told you that I grew up in Upstate New York? Anyhoo, I like horse racing references. Lots of time spent in
Saratoga watching horses. :) Okay, okay. Down to card business!
So why the
trifecta reference? Today is my third Guest Designer spot!!!!!! I'm so wicked thrilled!!! Today I'm the GT over at
Let's Capture Our Memories. Cool challenge this go 'round too. It's all about
upcycling. What can you reuse to make a beautiful card? Earrings, movie tickets, cereal box... I used the Sunday Boston Globe!
I really like orange and black. This pic is from an
arangetram celebration. It's kinda like a
bat/bar mitzvah or a
quinceanera. These are all celebrations and gifts can be involved. Where there are gifts there are thank you notes so that's where I headed with this card.
I used the newpaper to make the strips for the background and the dimensional bow. The pick below proves that I used the newpaper and this isn't a gag. ;)
Well maybe it doesn't show a whole article, but pop over to
Let's Capture Our Memories and link up an upcycled creation of your own! Let me know if you do. I'll leave you some blog love. :)

ReplyDeleteMy hubby laughs at those who refer to Albany as "upstate". (He's originally from the Adirondack Park - way upstate!)
Beautiful work and you are so creative! Your newspaper bow turned out better than a bow I could make with regular fabric! :) Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful love the colours you have used and the gorgeous flower. Thanks for joining us at The Creative Cottage, Tracy x
